CornKobb 48 Posted October 28, 2015 Did not practice today quad. I feel this runs right up to Gametime. Coach Bowles also plays games, Ivory active week 3 and never played. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nobody 2,044 Posted October 28, 2015 I wonder who gets carries if he sits. We have Bilal who's been around all season, but is dinged up himself. Zac Stacy who's kind of underwhelming Stevan Ridley who's been practicing and might get activated for this game. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jgcrawfish 232 Posted October 28, 2015 Watch for practice Friday. If not, make other plans. I already have him out of all my lineups. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CornKobb 48 Posted October 28, 2015 Stacy was the 1 to come in when Ivory was out last week Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
thewrathofkuhn 40 Posted October 28, 2015 Why I didn't draft Ivory. He was about a 6 or 7 round ADP, is the number 5 RB even after missing 2 games. Unless you absolutely nailed your first 5 or 6 picks and they're all top 5 at their respective position this statement is silly. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jwiLx 2 Posted October 28, 2015 I offered someone Moncrief and Diggs for Ivory last week. He lol'd at me and declined.This morning he dropped Ivory for Lafell....Hes mine now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
thewrathofkuhn 40 Posted October 28, 2015 Ivory owner here. Powell didn't practice either and it's a afternoon game (of course). I just can't see starting Stacy against a solid OAK rush defense. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Unless you absolutely nailed your first 5 or 6 picks and they're all top 5 at their respective position this statement is silly. Your's is a safe statement to make right now. Right now. Ivory runs hard and violently, but that comes with a price. He's giving owners an ass pain this week, has missed time already riding a bike on the sideline, and once more is no sure thing to be consistent ROS. I'm sorry you think my statement doesn't hold merit, apologies. But injury uncertainty week-to-week, much less the threat of leaving a game due to lingering injury, doesn't give me the warm fuzzys. Those type of players, and for all his talent Ivory IS one, I avoid at all hazards. But you pays your money you takes your choice. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Those type of players, and for all his talent Ivory IS one, I avoid at all hazards. But you pays your money you takes your choice. I understand your point and have always drafted with that strategy in mind. Week to week consistency is the #1 key to fantasy and any game missed comes at a substantial cost to the owner. I acknowledge he may depreciate in value over the season, but his draft ROI has thus far outweighed the 'what-if' scenario's attached to many injury prone players. Avoiding players with a history of injuries (or inconsistency) at the top half of the draft is critical, but for his ADP, the returns Ivory has given this season allow him a much longer leash then a majority of the healthy RB drafted before him dozens of spots ahead of him. I believe I landed him at the tail end of Rd. 6 or 7 PPR along with Woodhead (who I flipped for Landry a few weeks back). When you draft, what's the realistic best case you envision for a 7th rd. RB? 12pts a week? 15? We're talking about the 25th or so RB drafted being top 5 in scoring. I just don't know how fair it is to readily dismiss a players success to date on injury assumptions from two months ago (that are still TBD) – under the guise of 'I told you so.'

ZeroTolerance 582 Posted October 28, 2015 I grabbed Ivory in the 6th round in two drafts, but he has moved up my depth chart thanks to crap FF luck (Foster in one, Charles the other). He is much nicer as a luxury than a necessity, but for the time being he is getting the job done. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Apologies should have made clear I run in an auction league. Haven't done snake in years and am actually fascinated by the different level of strategy going into it. To be honest, I almost drafted Ivory with my last roster spot, as I had plenty of money to land him. Instead I threw out Charles Johnson of MN. Big mistake lol... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jwiLx 2 Posted October 29, 2015 Please send me a league invite after you guys add a waiver period. Haha yeah I know right. Somethings strange this year with these guys. Usually they're on top of their . But this year people are making the dumbest moves. Dropping players after a bad game, not picking up potentials...etc. I am 6-1, but only because I woke up late and didnt sub for an injured player and had a def on bye. A few weeks ago I had to drop M. Evans to scoop and play someone, literally hours later, the guy who denied my Ivory trade, scooped Evans up and tried to package him with Manning for my Hopkins and Palmer... wierdo.
